    Changa (Carnitas)

    Very comfortable atmosphere. Friendly staff who provided excellent service. Now for the food...you get a complimentary bowl of chips and salsa. The chips and salsa were very good. Chips are freshly made and salsa tasted so good! Fiesta Sampler: everything was great until I tasted the carne asada chimichanga. The carne asada is hamburger meat. That lost me. Changa Carnita: did not care for the melted cheese on top. The carnita was a little dry for my liking...maybe I like a little more fat. Carne Asada Super Nacho: melted cheese on top of the nachos made the chips soggy, not real carne asada.

    Disgusting supposed nachos.  It was literally like they took peoples leftovers and made a nacho plate.  No lie.

    The food here is absolutely horrible! I am never coming back here! The wait staff is not good!

    Mango Habenaro Chicken Tacos

    I was a bit skeptical going to this place given that it was rated a bit low, but I guess this place has improved over the years. One of the most quickest service mexican places with really good food that I have seen so far in the Twin Cities. I usually go for the tacos when I am visiting a mexican place for the first time and seeing the Pollo Mango Habenaro tacos on the menu was very tempting and to my surprise it was quite spicy and amazingly flavorful. The tangy kick from the mangoes was great and the habenaro sause had a good kick to it. The portion was very filling and the rice and pico was good too. My husband got the chicken enchiladas and the sauce over the enchiladas was going really well with everything. The chips and salsa in the beginning was tasty too. Definitely a place I will be returning to!

    Great greeting at the door. Got a table right away on a busy Thursday night. Our waiter Fredy E was amazing and on top of his game. The chips and salsa were plenty full and tasty. Happy hour prices were perfect for our first visit. The food was presented heat hot which is great. The portions were amazing. Food was prepared with love and the presentation was spot on. The chorizo chimichanga was delicious and hit the spot. The atmosphere was perfect for date night with my wife. Definitely be back for more. Got a great thank you as well when we left.

    We had a wonderful experience here: great lunch specials, food was tasty, prices were good, & our waitress, Laura was excellent! Chips & salsa arrive to the table right away with our water & pop orders. The "salsa" that comes with the chips is pretty mild-which is ok since one of our group doesn't do real spiciness. Relaxed, comfortable dining. Worth visiting again!

    I was craving a chimichanga today and this was nearby. There is a Teresa's in MG that we've been to a handful of times and enjoyed. This location is not my favorite as the quality wasn't what we experience at the other. The chicken chimichanga lunch special was $10 and it didn't feel like they put much chicken or the queso on top. Also, don't they normally serve the salsa and ranch white sauce with the chips? Maybe it's a different place, but I wanted it. Haha I walked to the bathroom and you could smell the stinky kitchen bins on the way to it. Not the most pleasing... maybe close the door to the kitchen near the bathroom? On a positive note, our server was super fast and the food came out even faster. It wasn't horribly busy for lunch but it was steady. Thanks for good customer service.

Came here for a date night, I got the Broiled Miso Salmon and one glass of wine and my partner got the Steak Frites and a coke. Our bill was $95! Ouch. The bad: If it were really really good I would be willing to pay for it, but I felt that the flavors in my dish, in salmon, carrot ginger sauce, and cauliflower, were whispering at best. I think the cauliflower could have used a sauce or been crispier, it just seemed boring and soggy. The steak and fries also came out cold :( my partner really knows his steaks and was not impressed, it was over cooked for medium rare and it had clearly been sitting too long. Not worth the $38! The good: The space itself is decorated really well, it's pretty dark but the theme comes together really nicely. I personally enjoyed the indie/pop music they had playing and it wasn't too loud. I really enjoyed the Chardonnay ($16) and they had a decent selection of wine but only a handful were by the glass. You can get glasses of by the bottle wines if you commit to getting at least two glasses though which is good to know. For me, the service really saved this review, our server was so nice and friendly, attentive but not overbearing. I would maybe grab a drink and an appetizer here sometime but will definitely hold out on dinner again until their prices chill or the food gets better. ‍ TLDR: Too expensive for the food quality

It is in the Mac-Groveland neighborhood so there is ample street parking nearby if you turn on any of the side streets. The restaurant does get busy at dinner, so I recommend making a reservation ahead of time. They have many unique options for cocktails and mocktails. I opted for the Slaychel which is a non-alcoholic beverage that I think of as an elevated mimosa. It is fruity, slightly tart, and delicious! The service was great! Our water was frequently refilled and never got empty, and our server asked about any allergies and dietary restrictions before we ordered. They were able to modify menu items to fit the different dietary restrictions! Two people in our party (including myself) are vegetarians and one member is gluten-free and also doesn't consume much dairy or eggs. They were able to serve the patatas bravas with the egg on the side and the grilled asparagus with the egg and cheese on the side so we were able to all share the starters. The patatas bravas were wonderful! The potatoes are perfectly crispy but still fluffy. The tomato sauce was slightly smokey and had a very slight kick (think Minnesota spice) and it balanced out well with the creamy tomato. If you're only going to try one appetizer, this is the one to try! The asparagus was also nice. The salsa verde had a slight kick (a bit more than the tomato sauce from the patatas bravas, but not super spicy. Still Minnesota level of spice). The shallots also added a nice crispy texture to the dish! The egg really stood out in this dish, with its runny yolk and batter coating. There were a lot of nice elements and textures. As for pastas, I split the Spaghetti and Radiatore with a friend. The Radiatore was nutty and tangy, and the serving size was generous. I enjoyed it, but I would order the Spaghetti over it any day! I don't even know how to describe the Spaghetti and do it justice. It was creamy, cheesy, delicious. Our server said it was a staff favorite, and I understand why. If you're looking for a vegetarian option, go with this one!! Even if you aren't a vegetarian, give it a try. It's so classic, and it's done so well. For dessert: they give free churros when you're dining in! They are served warm with a chocolate drizzle. We also ordered the Honey Cake which we enjoyed a lot! The cake itself was light, like a mousse. There was some crunch from the hazelnut praline and honeycomb toffee pieces. It was nutty and sweet but not overly sweet. It was a perfect way to finish off the meal! Estelle was delicious and the service was great! I can't wait to come back!

Walking inside the first thing I noticed was the lack of decor and warmth in this place. The pictures are hanging up spaced unevenly. The boards above the booths are not screwed into the wall. It honestly looks and feels tacky. There is a lack of decor and the lighting is too harsh. It feels like someone is moving out. Our server and the other employees, are the only reason I'm giving this place 2 stars. They were absolutely lovely and helped one another out. Our water glasses were filled multiple times and our server was very sweet. The food: we started with a beer and mojito. The beer was good. The Mojito was too strong and too sweet. It was really strange... Then we had the lobster bisque. It was very peppery and lacked flavor. There was only one piece of lobster and it had a strange after taste to it. The jerk chicken nachos were awesome is flavor but sooo greasy. See the pictures. I got the hot chicken and waffles. The texture of the chicken was great!! And the waffles were tasty! But these chicken tenders are very spicy and I could only get through half the meal. I would love if you could pick a non spicy version!! My boyfriend got a lobster roll and said it was good not great and the fries were pretty standard. We will not be back to this location. If you want to try this place, I would recommend the Bloomington location!

First off, going through the hidden Coke machine entrance is actually really fun and makes the whole place feel like a little adventure. The decor and speakeasy atmosphere are definitely the standout. Very cool space. VERY loud though. Like "lean across the table and say WHAT?" loud at times. The waitress was super nice and recommended a mocktail for me that called Ass in the Sand. It ended up being really good. It tasted like an elevated lemonade and was probably one of my favorite parts of the meal. Started with the rolls and whipped honey butter which were delicious. Very soft, warm, and honestly dangerous because I could've just kept eating bread all night. For the main meal, I did the Wagyu Burger with Parmesan fries. The burger itself was okay but surprisingly didn't have a ton of flavor outside of the grilled/charred taste. The Parmesan fries were actually the standout for me -- hand cut fries and parmesan fries are just hard to mess up. My partner tried the Mushroom Soup en Croute and wasn't a fan because the mushrooms were blended and he said it lacked flavor. He also had a Steak Taco special using their medallion steak and said even with lime it still needed more flavor. Finished with Crème Brûlée which is always a classic favorite for me and this one was good. Overall: fun experience, cool hidden entrance, great decor, good mocktail and bread, but the actual food menu is pretty limited and the flavors didn't totally wow me for the price. Glad I went and finally crossed it off my list, but probably a one-and-done visit for me.
